The Beatles - I'm So Tired LESSON by Mike Pachelli

[@KingHarvestHSC]

I've always been a rhythm player and so really appreciate all of your nuances in John's rhythm patterns. As a rhythm-chord oriented person (who tries to play music!) I'm always drawn to songs that have chord sequences that make me take notice. I absolutely love the chord sequence in these verses, the G# and E+ are wonderfully used to evoke the dreamy quality of the lyric.

[@markdavis8532]

Man, Mike really nailed it on those Lennon vocals!

[@mb10mb10]

Great! As usual, George keeps a low profile, but the result is exactly what is needed for the song. Thank you Mike.

[@scoobydoo4087]

One of my favorite Beatles songs. So John.

[@marksimpson2321]

Good to see and hear you , Mike! Ty for pumping out these amazing covers/analyses. They show how amazing The Beatles songs were and you're the best coverer!

[@MrRiverfeverwa]

Thanks so much for all these great lessons! I cannot play them but, Its a pure joy watching you reconstruct these fantastic Beatles tunes! I also appreciate and enjoy the 'sound alike' at the end!

[@tonypurcell1049]

Absolutely love the sound alike takes. Mike you're probably the worlds No1 Beatles expert. Thank you for these vids

[@MPfrance]

Glad you like them!

[@DanielGervais]

Thank you Mike, you are a brilliant teacher and star! Love the background on the song. God bless

[@MPfrance]

Thanks so much!

[@sapelesteve]

As usual. incredible teaching & rendition of a classic Lennon tune! Thank you Mike for continuing to keep Beatles music alive and well! Hope that you are doing well and staying safe.

[@MPfrance]

My pleasure!

[@JohnnyM_]

I never did think much of that song... until now. Now I can appreciate the work gone into orchestrating the different instruments, & Mike's breakdown of the song.

[@allancerf9038]

Mike Pachelli you perform a real service. Appreciated.

[@sylvainmenard2004]

I am always impressed by the music performance but this time, I have to give a big BRAVO for the Lennon sound alike voicing. I am totally blown off by the whole thing. Merci encore M. Pachelli.

[@MPfrance]

Thanks for listening

[@QBtracksandstuff]

A 2min song and so much detail as always. Fantastic Job Mike 👍😃

[@MPfrance]

QB - I always find in astounding how much detail went into those "2min songs." The lads were truly amazing!

[@thomasstoltz8399]

Another great job Mike, thank you! great vocals also. And then you say you have "Yes It Is" in the works... the hits just keep on coming. I hope "Two Of Us" is somewhere in the back log. Thanks again!

[@stevefreebob]

Fabulous breakdown of a much overlooked belter. I love your delivery in researching these fantastic songs! Thanks Mike. Always rated this song from the day the album was released.

[@wiemiromarsoichdir5516]

Thanks Mike, for this brilliant decryption of one of the most enigmatic songs by John. Well done!

[@gwandao]

Yeh - for me one of those Beatles songs that should have gone in the bin. That aside, only my opinion, love the videos, keep them coming.

[@MrEnoBeano]

I remember waiting in my friend’s 1966 mustang on 42nd street in Manhattan for the record store to open to buy the White Album. We heard some songs from it on the radio but we bought Beatles records without hearing it first in those days. It had an impression of the Beatles name on the cover and it had pictures inside.

[@JohnDupuyintegralrecovery]

As Sir Paul said "nobody does it better!" Again outstanding!

[@meanmr.mustard3511]

Awesome man, great song! Thanks

[@dunebuggy66music]

One of my favourite Beatles tracks. There’s a hint of the Stones ‘Last Time’ in George’s part which I hadn’t realised before. Excellent work as always

[@dezwatson6993]

I was thinking the very same, Brian's riff.

[@colinpumpernickel2605]

Yes. The song was written by Lennon and Mcartney. They gave it to The Stones.

[@tkamps64]

thought it sounded more like Chuck Berry's "Memphis" Someone he was influenced by

[@reprintrightsbiz5584]

What a beautiful bunch of chords. Nice job Mike. John was so great.

[@Cedrou21]

Nice ! Love that track so much

[@MPfrance]

Cedric - Thanks and me too. I always thought this track to be brilliant.

[@paulsimmons5726]

Mike, I think your backstory descriptions for the Beatle lessons are always so interesting. This one was great, like always! Take care and be well!

[@hepgeoff]

Great tutorial, and beautiful sound-alike, Mike!

[@slidhome]

I must admit that the middle part to this song is well written. It shows that Lennon had the talent to do a good middle without Paul's help as he did in No Reply.

[@scottandrewbrass]

John wrote quite a lot of middles to songs without Paul's help.

[@juliosanchez8263]

@@scottandrewbrass And a lot of middle 8s for Paul's song

[@frieswijk]

Hey Mike!!! Have I told you lately that I love you??? Man, I wish you were here 30 years ago when I first tried out to play these Beatles songs

[@vietnamcatfish]

And the sound-alike. Excellent

[@chandawolfchurchill8820]

You never cease to amaze me, thank you

[@MPfrance]

Thanks!

[@vietnamcatfish]

Love this song! Thanks 4 all u do!

[@HeelBJC]

How great is it to live during a time with all the great beatles resources we have on KZbin? Second only to being around during their run.

[@MPfrance]

I'm betting it was far better to be "around during their run." And I outta know - I was there then!

[@dodojack1045]

Love it. Love it. Never tire of your work Mike.

[@geo.cgeier3435]

Thanx Mike for all you do to teach us these great Beatle songs! Much appreciated! And always love the back story and your playing at the end!

[@guitarandbeyondplus]

Fantastique Michel !!! Wow, you never disappoint us. Always superior stuff. I love the "Rekcabnekcir" bass.

[@gloomsdoom649]

That’s the weirdest way I’ve seen a Rickenbacker spelled

[@amoracorina8055]

I'm a Beatles fan from Philippines I love how you do a guitar tutorial of beatles songs😘I'm a beginner at 47 now but still really want to learn on how to play beatles songs on guitar😘😘thanks so much SIR MIKE PACHILLE I love the tutorial...I LOVE BEATLES🤗🤗💗💗GOD BLESS YOU..

[@QuaoarianElf]

Amazing, excellent work 🙏🏻

[@JRLNeal]

You lifted the bonnet (hood if you must) on this song as well. Brilliant and thanks. So many parts were puzzling me now made crystal clear.

[@MPfrance]

John - Thanks and yeah - the lads were VERY good at making the complex seem simplistic!

[@stringmantony]

Whoa! Another great lesson. I watched you give a little preview of this song the other day on your live cast and I think the finished product is terrific. Many thanks.

[@MPfrance]

string - Cool, thanks! and yeah - it took another few days for me to polish her and make it acceptable.

[@suburbsofthestumpfencecapi6603]

just amazing how you are able to decipher those sounds .

[@alanwhit8770]

Great work Mike ... probably my fav Beatles song and you did it great justice.

[@mralgebro]

Digging this channel. Just found it. You look like you’re having too much fun! Thanks man!!

[@tareksoliman5]

Amazing as always Mike

[@vietnamcatfish]

So mellow! Lol. Love it! Love your analysis!

[@MPfrance]

Thank you! 😁

[@fredthebass185]

Another brilliant deconstruct Mike! Many thanks and please keep 'em coming. Fred in Spain.

[@matcoffidis1135]

Really good Mike! Some really sophisticated guitar parts. George knew how to play just the right thing to compliment the songs. Thanks for sharing...👍

[@WinstonWolfe21]

I love the sound alike at the end it’s what makes u the best at covering songs on YT 😊

[@camlendrim7609]

Enjoy the channel Mike. Thank you for such detailed history and trivia, ie dates, backstories etc. it adds a lot of color and flavor for us trivia buffs. 👌

[@simonmarsh7529]

Love this Mike. Been waiting for you to do this song - one of my all time favourites. Love the detail on George’s lead. You’ve also solved a puzzle for me - I never knew if the second chord was a straight G# or something else. Fantastic vocals too on the sound alike it’s not an easy one to sing. Great job. Cheers Simon

[@ElectricLotusBand]

Mike man your the best !!!!

[@piperofsimms]

Thank you Mike, that was a treat! Nice.

[@robertcass7723]

Another great job, Mike! Really enjoy all of your videos.

[@offthewallreubs]

Man the rhythm on this is great, it really communicates John's wit

[@woodenbeast9337]

Mike you are so appreciated

[@johnlennon1049]

Damn! That was great! Loved the vocals.

[@lordwormpie]

Hi Mike. I love these vids. Is there a video of your studio gear and set up. Would be very interested to see.

[@boppin_bennie]

Always a great breakdown Mike, you & that lil' Rin-O ticker give a grin ! ...

[@MPfrance]

Glad you enjoyed it. And I've had that metronome since the 70's! It takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'!

[@boppin_bennie]

My pleasure as always @@MPfrance !

Amazing! Any plans to do Happiness is a warm gun?

Hadn't considered doing that one but it's one my faves!

Fabulous as usual Mike 😊

Thank you! Cheers!

[@dodojack1045]

Just great. Thanks

[@GuyLeeguitar]

Good job

[@richardgratton7557]

Thanks Mike for all the great work you do. I know you put a lot of effort in these video breakdowns. It’s many days of work as we can see from your soundalike performances, different clothes in every part! Your « monsieur, monsieur » at the end was excellent. Living in France must’ve help a little! 😂 Best Regards from Québec.👍🥰

[@bobbarcus8310]

Your the best I thank you so much You’ll never know

[@grantporter3715]

I always played that E Aug as a C#m and it seemed to work harmonically, but this is so much better, (and right). Thanks for the correction!

[@crox_rox]

Brilliant mate

[@Espritisback]

Merci Mike. Très belle cover. Ici il pleut (rain I don't mind) mais avec les Beatles tout va bien. Bravo pour ton talent.

[@andrewpappas9311]

I always thought that this was an interesting song but the guitar work is still great as always, I'd love to see a video on some of the band's Anthology cuts like Free As A Bird, Real Love and If You've Got Trouble

[@AaronEddieHYo]

Vocals you do are like super good

[@MPfrance]

Aaron - thanks - very kind of you to say!

[@ricomusap614]

Good job!

[@mickgadd3385]

new to the channel , fantastic

[@stuartedgar1885]

Great breakdown of how John and George played. Listening to Apple Musics version of the White Album you cannot hear any of Johns andGeorges playing as the version available is very predominately bass which appears to drown out any other instruments. I have an original EMI 3 3/4 inch reel to reel tape of the White Album which would probably represent what was recorded, but unfortunately I have not the means to play it. Great what you are doing cannot wait for your next breakdown of John and George’s playing.

[@hen3vz]

Certified legend

[@savinglivesofourown]

Another superb tutorial! Question: I hear Lennon playing a barred Dm. Check it out.

[@BC1after909]

Great one Mike! Thanks. Guess you’ve listened to the Revolver super deluxe? Yellow Submarine…….revaluations!

[@MPfrance]

Truth-be-told - I already had the stems of 90% of the super dooper deluxe.

[@marksimpson2321]

I love how you have Ringo's help now! :)

[@rob_in_stowmarket_uk]

Hey Mike! Another great video analysis! And, as usual, superb ‘Sound-a-Like’. Excellent stuff, my friend!👍

[@TigrisTiroux]

Super !

[@mvmmotovlogmusic2815]

Super!!!!

[@keithwilson9501]

Mike...can you please do She Said She Said???

[@jopisano67]

Adding the half step to A flat gave the song a bit of being tired or melancholy feel to it which reflects the whole meaning of the song. .Not to mention the added E+ chord. All which was brilliantly done on purpose in my opinion.

[@aceopinions]

Hi Mike, great job as always! Just to note at 3:53 in the video, you mention the A flat, but the video shows a G sharp. Apologies, I have only a basic knowledge of music, so I guess these are in reality the same chords?

[@MPfrance]

Tom - Thanks and Yes they are the EXACT same chord. It's more proper to call it a G# since the song is in the key of A (which has 3 sharps. C#, F# & G#) But when I think (out loud on video) of that 2nd chord descending from an A chord - the 'jazz guy' in me spouts out Ab.
